im pretty set on doing 37's. im dead set on the 4" as i already have it but 35's to me on these year model trucks looks to small. ive read a few places where guys have 37's with a 4" and have little to no rubbing but everyone i seem to talk to says its going to rub bad. i dont mind trimming alittle off the plastic fender well but i will not cut any metal. if i have to do that ill go to 35's but had those on my last 6.0 and it looked alright but not big enough for me. pics are greatly appriciated! im also doing the fuel nutz 20x10. thought about 22's but way to much for me right now

I just installed 325 x 20" (which are 35.7" tall X 13" wide) on my 2010 F350. I built custom dual shock mounts for the front, have stock height...no rubs. Just a point of reference.

You should have no problem with a 4" lift. I'm on 37x13.50x18 toyo MT's on a 2.5" leveling kit with a add-a-leaf in the back. No rubbing at all for me even at full lock. I might get a little rub (very minimal) when my truck is articulated. I had to trim my inner plastic fenders a little but you can't even tell I did. I have a thread with pics on the nation. Search "37x13.50x18 on leveling kit" You'll have no worries with a 4", I used to have 35's then I stepped up to 37's and it looks so much better! BTW I can still spin these big a$$ wheels no problem with my KEM 345 tune

These pictures are from a long time ago. I had just installed the icon 4.5 kit. I know you wanted pictures of 4inch but I figured this was close enough.

thats a sick lookin truck! honestly i have never been a fan of those wheels with the exception of your truck! they just fit it perfect! i love them on that truck and believe me ive looked at your truck more than a few times on other forums as well its just plain sick! i wish i could afford 22's but right now being in college and trying to get my own shop going its hard to let go of the money when i need it for other things as well which is why im doing 20's

Basically the less offset your wheels have, the more likely the 37's will fit without rubbing. I would say between +10mm and -20mm would be ideal. I assume the Fuel wheels you're looking at have a negative offset.

i was looking to do 37's as well, but I'm thinking it will rub do to the 20x12 with a -44offset and I'm on a 4.5" DR lift.

I'm running 35/12.50/20 Toyo MT's, which measure out to about 13" wide, on a wheel with identical specs. I have very little rubbing at stock height and I expect to have zero rubbing after tomorrow when my 2.5" Icon leveling kit and 3" PMF blocks are installed. I would expect with the 4" BDS, you should be fine with the 37's and those wheels. You could always add Icon's 1" TEI spacer up front if you end up needing an additional inch of clearance to achieve no rubbing.

22x9 rims? I have 20x10 monsters with a lot of back space. All I can clear is 35 with leveling kit

Yea I just wondering the width of his rims. As a reference so when I go to 37's. I just think 35s look to tiny on these huge rigs

You could probably pull it off with a leveling kit and 20x9's with 0mm offset. A 37/12.50 is going to fit better than a 37/13.50 also. A few tire companies have 37/12.50's.

On our 2010 we have a 2" leaving kit, 36/13.5R17 they roll out at a 36" they are as tall as my friends 37's. got them on a 17x9 4.5 back space. They rubbed on full turn to the left, then I pulled the drives inner finder a little, now they don't hit, it's on job sights, so it's hitting bumps, jumping curbs to get on sight, or driveways.
